The band, whose most recent UK sojourn was their spectacular Glastonbury 2019 headline set (look back at that jubilant night here), will embark on their biggest ever tour in May/June 2020 and follows the award-winning success of the Liam Gallagher concert in 2018, when the venue played host to the Mancunian legend and ex-Oasis frontman.

Since the release of their 2004 debut, Hot Fuss, which featured breakthrough singles Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me, The Killers have gone on to sell 25 million albums, win countless Grammy, Brit, Q, NME nominations and awards and headline stadia and festivals around the world.

Daniel Gidney, Chief Executive at Lancashire Cricket, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting one of the world’s most renowned rock bands, for what is sure to be a fantastic night of live entertainment at Emirates Old Trafford next summer.

"It firmly underlines our reputation as a world class, multipurpose sporting and entertainment venue, particularly following the successes of concerts here over the last few years.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming back both cricket and music fans alike and showcasing our incredible venue.”

There are also a number of premium hospitality packages available, with the Bronze package starting from £199 per person, offering fans the chance to enjoy the night from the comfort of one of the Club’s suites.

In addition, the award-winning Concert View packages will be returning, providing fans with a unique viewpoint in which to watch the concert, from the luxury of their own stage facing balcony, as well as an overnight stay in the Hilton Garden Inn Emirates Old Trafford. The packages will be available at £599 per room for two guests.
